Much more than a happy island

Working with WEP means joining a team of globe-trotters, passionate about travelling and helping other Australians broaden their horizons. Our goal? Sharing our values of openness, torelance and harmony across different cultures.

A Child Safe Organisation

World Education Program (WEP) Australia actively maintains child safe environments for all program participants and adheres to commonwealth and state regulations governing the safety of children.

Our organisational culture nurtures a commitment to child safety through a comprehensive code of conduct, screening, supervision, training and effective leadership, activities for educating and empowering children, and processes for identifying, responding to and reporting suspected child abuse.

All staff and volunteers must have a valid Working with Children Check, complete a Fit & Proper Person declaration, sign their adherence to WEP’s Code of Conduct, and complete training courses in child protection prior to the start of their appointment with WEP.

Communication

Dealing with people from different cultures, languages and backgrounds is our bread and butter. Cross-cultural knowledge, the ability to communicate clearly and compassionately, and second-language skills (particularly Italian, French, Spanish, German) are all highly regarded.

Positivity

Working as a team, bulding and maintaining positive relationships with colleagues, partners, program participants and prospective clients, is essential.

Initiative

Creativity, spirit of initative, and the ability to think outside the box are always appreciated. If we never change the way we do things, we give up precious learning opportunities and new approaches.

Problem-solving

Being able to analyse a situation from different perspectives, identifying critical situations and finding effective solutions...

Organisation

Prioritising, managing time and resources effectively, planning and executing activities... WEP is in constant evolution, thanks to its well-organised, innovative team of staff and volunteers.

Adaptability

Being able to understand different contexts, showing flexibility and being open to change: it's what we ask of our participants, and the same applies to us.
